Review - Niagara Fallsview Casino Birthday Dinner 21 Feb 06


Yes, yes, yet another birthday dinner, courtesy of another casino. Niagara Fallsview Casino has regular birthday dinners too, similar to Casino Windsor. Same setup, like you are at a distant relative's wedding. Bob and I made it there for our regular monthly dinner night, instead of hitting a local restaurant.

Good choice! They had a buffet set up in their ballrooom, but this time, the focus was on Italian. They had a good choice of pastas and meats, with the main item being roast beef. The salads were good, but all in all, they could have done a better job at getting people up to eat. Although it was all you can eat, they closed it down after the first run at the tables. Food was tasty, with a really good cannelloni for all to enjoy.

Hard to do a good write up on what Fallsview had to offer, since I had been at Casino Windsor the week before. Fallsview had a cash bar, and you felt rushed during dinner. A little more rigid in the service and trying to herd 1500+ people through the buffet was their downfall.

If I had a choice, I would prefer the Casino Windsor buffet over the Fallsview. Now, just because the birthday dinner buffet wasn't the best it could be, the Grand Buffet at the Fallsview is excellent. So, if you want a freebie, be sure to head down to Fallsview if you get invited. Otherwise, take the time to stand in line at the Grand Buffet at the Falls...its one of Bob's favourites!

I recently purchased a digital camera, so postings from now on will most likely have pictures of where and what we have, in addition to anything I have made at home. Stay tuned, things are just getting started with this blog!
